21 Years Old

My birthday is on 2nd July. Which therefore means that this post is actually a bit off by 3 days because I didn't have time and limited Internet connectivity.

But, enough of that, back to the point.

I am 21 years old this year. People say that 21 is the number signifying maturity, announcing officially that one has become an adult, pushing over the 'remaja' status.

People say that this is the age whereby one can start to vote for elections and such, and can thus help 'make a difference' for the betterment of the nation. I am still in doubt of this though.

People also say that 21 is the age whereby one can legally enter into a club without having their arses kicked out by club bouncers. Although, this hasn't stopped underages from barging into said clubs. 

Yes, 21 is much referred to as the 'coming-of-age' point. And you know what? This time, I'm not going to be witty or debate'ish because I actually agree with what people say. 

What I'm trying to say is, I do feel mature. And even though people might not see it because of my some what childish and 'poyo' nature, I've come a far way from being a spoilt brat, to a 'boleh lah' adult. Heck, I'm washing my own under garments for crying out loud :p

So yeah, 'remaja' was sweet, but the time has come for me to grow up.

Happy Birthday to me. I'm 21 years old :)

 

The birthday date :)

I love my sweet sweet sayang so awesomely much! Wanna know why? Hal ini kerana she managed to make my birthday, literally the best birthday of my 21 years of life!

And to relive that memorable day, let there be photos! :)

Haha, yes, that IS what it looks like :p

The birthday present, a very cool Sony in-car stereo! Woohoo! :p

The people that matter :)

and the individual, that matters most. Love you :)

All in all, that night was one of my best nights spent with my Sayang.

You are my forever :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 

P/S: Thank you to all my friends and family who cared to wish me Happy Birthday. All of you are in my 'Loved ones" list :)

Holidays End In Such Prompt Manner

The days past so quickly. I can't believe it's been almost 2 months already. 

I mean, I literally feel that it was only a few days ago I pen my last semester 2 exam paper. I literally feel that it was only yesterday that I board the plane to mark the start of my visit to Japan.

Now, all that past in a flash! Even quicker perhaps!

Tomorrow, I'll be boarding the plane again, but the other way around! What was from 'a semester full of assignment' heading towards 'a relaxing retreat' is now the other way around!

I am dreading the thought of going back to school! I wanna stay at home and do nothing all day! :'(

*sighhh

But, I guess not all is dreadful.

The better side of things is that I get to eat at McD's which I have to refrain from enjoying due to no logo halals here. I get to hang out with friends doing shisha's, futsals and left 4 dead's.

And, the most of what I am looking forward to is that I get to see my beloved girlfriend who I crave for all the while I am in Japan :)

la petite amie ;)

So yeah, holidays are what people look forward to in efforts to get away from their hectic routines. But, I guess nothing in life is so laid back. You get your fair share of rest and relaxation, then you get back to your daily mundane routine.

If life was too sweet, you'd get kencing manis!

So 3rd semester, put your socks on! :D

P/S: I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to my beloved family for their heart-warming welcome and hospitality during my visit of them. I love you all and will miss you :)

Anniversary

Tomorrow, the 25th of June, marks the day our relationship skips past the 5 year mark.

Wow, 5 years. Although to many, this figure means nothing, but it means a whole lot to me. 

For me, it's a mixture of how long and how fast the time pasts.

For me, it seemed like it was only a few time back when I was shy-shy cat'ly eating our first meal together at Alamanda, determined and concentrating not to make a mistake on a simple task of finishing my meal.

On the other hand, I also feel like we have begun to know each other deeply and detailed. All from our attitudes to our pet peeves. 

Yes, it has been a wonderful 5 years indeed. We have endured so mush haven't we? From our dramas and heartbreaks, to the sparky dates and getaways. 

5 years to me as i see it, means a whole lot. But, it also means nothing as compared to what I see for us in the future.

Happy Anniversary sayang.

I love you then, now and always :)

P/S: Can't wait to get back to Malaysia for our anniversary date :)

Travel: Osaka, Japan

(Will update later)

Prayers Heard

After much hours (days even!) of clicking the 'refresh' button, butt-aching horrors, frustrating errors and the likes, the UiTM student portal has finally allowed me to check on my semester 2 results!

And Alhamdulillah, syukur kepada Yang Illahi, after much awaited and hopes, I got included into this semester's Dean's List after failing to make the cut last semester.

For that, I'm am endlessly thankful :)

Thankful to Allah S.W.T for his kurniaan. Thankful to my lecturers for their knowledge and wisdoms. And last but not literally not least, thanks to all my friends who helped me in every way in efforts for me to realise this achievement.

I love you guys!

Syukur once again :)

P/S: Sorry for the drama guys, I just feel so passionate ;')

Movie Day: Prince Of Persia

Today, after performing solat Jumaat at a Turkish masjid in the area of Yoyougi, my brothers and I decided to watch a movie. Btw, my brothers' summer vacation started today.

Since I had woken up early today (Yes, this is considered early. I usually wake up at the wee bit end of zuhur), Fazli (youngest) urged us to go watch a movie that we've been speaking about going, but were too lazy to move our arses. I guess it's kinda like a 'now or never' thing, literally.

So off we go, right after sembahyang jumaat. My father drove us there of course.

Where is "there" exactly?

Well, although Faizal (middle) said that the cinema hall at Shibuya wasn't the best since the sits were lined up almost perfectly horizontal, it was the nearest. So, yeah, we watched at Shibuya.

Before I move further on, lemme comment on the cinema here in Japan:

1. The price for a ticket is 1000yen which translates to approximately rm35. This is considered cheap considering the income these Japs get, but for us? Yerkhhhh..
2. The cinema people treat us like VIP's here. E.g: Escorting us from entrance up until we reach the cinema hall.
3. The popcorn sucked. Only got salted popcorn, no choice of butter, caramel or such.
4. Since we came here on a working day, there were very few people. But, the funny thing is, amongst those few people, were workers on their break and literally bought these movie tickets just so they can sleep in the cinema! Haha, stinkin' funny and wealthy Japs!
5. Finally, at the end of the movie, they won't let us out until the end of the movie credits! Haha, talk about boring and "I wanna pee lar syiot!". :p

Haha, well, back to the main point.

We chose to see Prince Of Persia.

I actually read the review beforehand. The ratings for this movie showed 'mediocre'.

My first thought before seeing the movie was, "Why did they have to pick Jake Gyllenhaal to be the prince?". I mean, I personally think he wasn't hero material and I predicted that he'd probably crack some kind of sarcastic and mundane jokes throughout the movie.

This wouldn't be to my liking because I wanted the movie to be a serious one with macho'ish heroics and such. I mean, this was one of my favorite games back when i was still playing the PS2 console and Star Trek had already disappointed me with the lack of these criterion. 

Was my prediction right though?

No, it wasnt!

Jake Gyllenhaal was awesome in this movie!

There wasn't any stupid gitty jokes or such, he was actually cool! He actually lacks the ability to crack jokes which is great! And he isn't overweight with scripts that contributes to the 'serious and macho' criteria I wanted!

Bottom line: He actually made it into my list of fav actors! :)

Haha, so what, imbd.com gave this movie a 6.9/10.

Hmm, I could almost agree, but with my came-to-realise-fav-actor, Jake Gyllenhaal, starring this one, I'd give it a decent 7.3/10.

Plus, because Tamina (Gemma Arterton) is super effin' hotz, I'd give it 7.5! :D

Hey, at least now it's in the 7 and above region ain't it? :)

Hehe, imagine what I'd give if Christian Bale starred this one :)

Holland for World Cup Champions!

Today is the start of the big event the whole world has been anticipating for!

THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2010!

The first kick off will be a match between hosts South Africa againt Mexico (I'm sure most of you have already known) 11pm M'sia time.

Do hope South Africa wins. :)

But, heck, push that aside!

Aku penyokong ORANJE HOLLAND!! :)

So obviously, I'll be hyping about Holland's first group match against Denmark, which is on Monday, 7.30pm (M'sia time).

ROBIN VAN PERSIE

And here is the player, my all-time favorite  player actually, that I am dying to see play at the World Cup. He's the main reason I support Holland, and plays for my favorite football club, Arsenal. 

A striker of top notch, I predict he'd make a big impact in this year's tournament. :)

So, my last words are, ORANJE HOLLAND ALL THE WAY! :)
